[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have been using these pans for a little bit now and they are ok. They are great at being non-stick pans. They are easy to clean, more work then what I am used to. They are not dishwasher safe which is a downside but they are easy to use and easy to clean so that almost makes up for it. These are definitely staying in my pan rotation because we do a fair amount of cooking.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I absolutely love this pan set. The ceramic coating is super slick and yet seems to be more durable than traditional non-stick cookware. The assorted sizes are great, especially the small fry pan. I can flip eggs for days. Clean up is easy.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Very impressive set of pots, pans and utensils. All the pots and pans of non stick and easily rinse food away after every use. Holds heat very well and I believe the utensils may be bamboo. This ceramic non-stick cookware does not have PTFE coating which is always nice and GreenPan uses a different technology called Thermolon. Not too sure of what that is but research points to it being a gel based coating versus Teflon.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've had the GreenPan - Ceramic NonStick 16 piece Pan Set for a little over a month now, and have been using them daily! So far they have held up great to the everyday wear and tear. Just as promised, they are truly non-stick! The best non-stick pans I have ever owned! I have been mindful to follow directions and care guide by cooking on Medium heat and using butter or oil while cooking. Eggs and cheese slide right off, and it's non-stick properties make cleaning super easy! No scrubbing needed at all!
There are however, just one or two cons. The fact that these pans are not to be used above Medium heat, leaves me with little use for the large 5qt Casserole pot. It's good for things like simmering Chili. But when it comes to boiling water, like for cooking pasta, it was practically impossible to get water to a rolling boil, when the Pans are not meant to be used above Medium heat. After a long wait for my water to boil the 1st time, I actually timed how long it took for tap water at room temp to boil. Having waited over 20 minutes on Medium heat, I only achieved light bubbles, still no rolling boil. The other issue I had with this 16 piece set, was with the Bamboo Utensil accessories. When new, I washed the set prior to 1st use, and when it came to washing them with my sponge, they were not smooth. In fact they had splinters which snagged my sponge, leaving it ripped up with traces of sharp wood embedded into it, and pieces of sponge stuck to the utensils themselves. This issue happened with 3 out of 4 of the utensils.
Overall I give these pans a 4 out of 5 stars, since the large pot on Medium heat doesn't produce a rolling boil of water; and the utensils aren't of the best quality. But I am highly satisfied with the pans' quality and aesthetic, as well as the non-stick feature.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love this set of pots and pans. It has everything you need to make a meal, and then some! Plus you can tell they're quality products, because no food sticks to them, and that makes it super easy to wash.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] If i could give more stars i would! I absolutely love my pots and pans set!! When they say its non stick they really mean its non stick! They are so easy clean. And very pretty!! They came with bamboo untensits as well so no scratching of the pans!!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've been using this for awhile now and I am surprised on how amazing this set is. There's enough cooking ware here to cover all my cooking! These ceramics makes cleaning very quick and easy. It does not leave burned pieces and food doesnt stick. Ive noticed the food tastes better as well. I love the weight on each if the pans, its not too heavy. I am set with my cooking ware for a very long time and Im very excited to recommend these to families and friends. Highly recommend and wont regret it.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I chose this set because of its non-stick features. From the first use, I was in LOVE! I cooked an over-medium egg. I used just a little bit of butter for flavor. The egg slid right out of the pan! I also love the utensils that came with the set. Clean up was so easy! I used a soft dishcloth and mild soap, rinsed and done! Thank you so much for creating such a beautiful set and for holding up to your promises! I would absolutely recommend this cookware!!
